Many things work better as a team; this is nothing new. But wear-protection coatings working together to provide better performance is. This is exactly what Ceratizit has achieved with the new CTCM245 cutting material grade, combining three layers in the Dragonskin coating to give high-alloy steels something to fear.
Chromium-containing materials such as tool steels, martensitic stainless steels or high-alloy austenitic stainless steels are no easy task for machine operators. This is due to their high forming capacity, high ductility, tendency to stick to the tool as well as strain hardening and low heat conductivity. “If these properties break you out in a sweat, you can now relax: Our new CTCM245 cutting material grade is the right solution, even for such challenging materials,” says Robert Frei, Milling Product Manager at Ceratizit .
